Image Copyright Association Is copyright registration mandatory?

hello. It is an urban brush.

 

If you created an image or received another person's image, the image
Some of you may be wondering if it is protected by copyright or not.

In the case of music, we know that it is legally protected by registering sound sources with the Copyright Association.
All creations are legally protected the moment they are created.

So, even if you did not separately register the image with the Copyright Association, if you created it, the image
Copyright is protected by the national constitution.

Under Article 10(2) of the Copyright Act, the occurrence of copyright does not require any special procedure or registration.

“Then why register images with the Copyright Association?”

The reason is that it is easy to prove it in the event of a lawsuit or complaint due to copyright issues later.
In other words, if my work is being used by others, I need proof that I created it first.
For example, there will be various evidence such as evidence that you are using it first, date of file creation, and so on.
However, if you register with the Copyright Association first, you do not have to prove this evidence yourself.

Therefore, you have clear evidence that you created it, or
If it is clear that you are actually creating and using the image, it is not necessary to register the image with the Copyright Association.
Of course, this is an area of ​​personal choice.
